Movement for Multi-Party Democracy

The Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) is a social democratic political party in Zambia that was founded in 1990 by Frederick Chiluba. From 1991 to 2011, the MMD was the dominant party in Zambia, ousting Kenneth Kaunda's United National Independence Party from power after 27 years of its rule. In 2011, the Patriotic Front of Zambia - a former MMD splintergroup - took over the government, with Michael Sata winning the presidential election.
